2015 Event Sponsorship:

100% of all proceeds from the Tour de Bonnechere are given to our two charities. We are looking for community sponsors to help mitigate the operating costs of this event so that even more money can go directly to the charities. Sponsorship opportunities include the following:

Gold Sponsorship - $500.00

Silver Sponsorship - $250.00

Bronze Sponsorship - $100.00
